photo. screen YouTube / TVP InfoShould democracy favour the most popular candidates at the expense of the rest? In theory, it's unacceptable, but in practice it's frequently different. In fresh days, the writer of Polish tv has caused a storm calling candidates for president with little political support “plankton”. Alexander Pawlicka decided to apologize for her words. "It was not my intention to insult anyone," wrote TVP journalist.
Two presidential debates took place in Koński last Friday. 1 organized the staff of Rafał Trzaskowski with media support of the largest tv stations in the country – TVN, Polsat and TVP. A competitive start was prepared by the sympathetic tv Republican and Polish tv stations.24 While all candidates were invited to the latter, the first was to be a one-on-one duel of Rafał Trzaskowski from KO and Karol Nawrocki – a candidate supported by the Law and Justice.
However, most candidates decided to go to the horse without being invited. These were yet sent to rivals by Rafał Trzaskowski, informing them... little than 2 hours before the meeting. any candidates – specified as Sławomir Mentzen from the Confederacy and Adrian Zandberg from Together – did not scope the Horses at all, as this was physically impossible due to the distance they would gotta overcome on their way to the village in the Świętokrzyskie province. Unless by helicopter, but in the end, no of them decided to do so.
The debate aroused quite a few emotions, but we will remember it as the worst organized in the past of the 3rd Republic. Doubts concern not to inform about the invitation to participate in advance, as well as the first form of the event which assumed only the participation of candidates of the 2 largest parties. The controversy is caused by the participation of the Polish tv in the organization of the debate, due to the fact that – as a station with a public mission – TVP cannot favour anyone.
A TVP writer called “inviting” to the debate in the horse “plankton”. Now he's sorry.
However, any – like TVP writer Alexander Pawlick – were not comforted by the final format of the debate. "This was to be a confrontation with Karol Nawrocki. And suddenly, the full plankton cape or the 3rd category – erstwhile it comes to polling results – candidates – is in the air,” she assessed on TVP Info on Sunday.
Pawlicka's guest was a erstwhile MP of KO Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz, who added after these words to “do not confuse” the 3rd category “with the 3rd Road”.
The words of a TVP writer provoked outrage. No wonder, due to the fact that the elections are not about choosing 1 of the 2 biggest political formations, despite the appearances that have been achieved over decades, but about selecting 1 of the 2 candidates from the full set. Eventually, the writer apologized for her words, stating that she had no intention of offending anyone.
"It was not my intention to insult anyone erstwhile I utilized the phrase 'election plan', especially as I talked about polling ratings, not candidates or voters, as I noted. If anyone inactive felt offended, I apologize," she wrote on her profile on the X platform of Alexander Pawlick.
